Elegant French café tables & chairs, and two big wooden swings are set in different corners of the flower garden to catch the sun from early morning till late evening. The apple trees provide shelter and beauty - and thus the garden is also full of birds! ... What could be better than relaxing in your own garden after sauna, maybe dipping in the sea from the “unofficial” swimming shore, a stone's throw from the house?
